10 Reasons Why I am a Dalek: When It Comes To Chronic Illness It’s The Doctor Who Knows Best

When you suffer from a chronic illness or disability, it is essential to possess a sense of humour. It makes everything easier, less heavy, less serious, even if the issues themselves are just that. Heck, if you can’t have a good chuckle about incontinence pads then what is the point? To that end, here is my homage to my particular set of circumstances, even though I don’t think that Daleks don’t really know what incontinence knickers look like. Ten reasons why my diagnosis should in fact be, Dalek.

I can’t go up stairs (I’m an old Dalek, not the new flying ones)

I have been known to wield a plunger in a terrifying manner

I regularly chase The Doctor

There are many things I would like to ‘Exterminate’

The Doctor often runs away when he sees me coming

I repeat myself alot

I have a very fixed agenda and chase people till they listen, or go up some stairs

I often visit The Doctor at very inconvenient times

Many small children are afraid of me

People often point and or/stare when they see me coming

There you have it. I do believe this points cannot be disputed at any level.
